while on the JEGS website i came upon dual snorkel air cleaner . it looked very interesting to me . its called 728-spectre low profile ram air kit , spectre # 865-728 . ( O.K. you and i know its not ram air but a cool/cold air set up ) that being said , i was wondering if any TBI people had tried it ? any feed back ??? thanks .

Not sure about this kit but everything i`ve bought made by spectre was cheap Chinese junk.Just saying.It all broke pretty fast.Even a power steering fluid top i bought for my truck,cause it was cheap fell apart in my hand one day when i checked the fluid.Had it about 3 months.

i hear what your saying grady , cheap junk is everywhere today . still i am curious/intrested in this air cleaner set-up . anyone else have a comment ???

oh well , no one has tried on of these on a TBI unit ??? i'm kind of on the fence to buy one of these , but would like some feedback . it's in the JEGS catalog pg. 197-g . 2nd. down in upper lt. of that page , also on their website # 865-728 . anyone ??? thanks .

I just saw the ad on Jegg's. I was just about to drop the $100 on it and thought I'd do some research first. The only review I've seen on this is on a 'Vette forum. The guy was going to buy it and was looking for info just like you and I. I'm thinking about getting it. I don't expect 50 HP, but anything it good. I would expect around 7-10 HP gain.

Really hard to go wrong with a cold air set up. Spectre has come a long ways from years ago when everything they had was pretty cheap stuff.

I believe that one in Jeg's has the flexible ducting but I'm gonna do something simliar to this on my tbi.
This set up is on Mary Pozzi's 2nd gen and she noticed an improvement right away with it. And if you don't know who she is - shame on you all!

On the surface it looks like a good alternative to Ramair or the old HO set up.

Just bought it from Jegs. Ships on Monday. It'll have to wait to get installed though as I'm stuck in Afghanistan at the moment.

one picture is worth a thousand words . thanks CYARS92 , i will be getting one soon . i will be ordering one as soon as i get caught up one my other small mods./repairs . ( damn , it never seems stop . wouldn't have it any other way . ) thanks again for the pics. . good luck .

true that, id get one tomorrow if i wasnt buying a 85 iroc for 450$ XD

Would this be significantly better on a TBI than something like this?

Dewey , the purpose for the snorkel is to let the engine breath cooler more dense air . while the filter you show does a good job filtering air it's warm less dense air . on a open engine it would be fine . under a hood is a different story . you want to pull in cooler more dense air . good luck .

I've seen those at Autozones and wondered the same thing, I almost bought one. But where on a 3rd gen would you put them?

i was on ebay looking at some other similar kits and stumbled on this one, just thought id share looks interesting enough

Finally made it home from the desert and had the box waiting for me. It doens't fit. It hits the coil as well as the throttle. Good idea, but it would take some time and engineering to get it to fit correctly. I'm boxing mine up and sending it back.

I always wanted to try Spectre's carb/TBI hat with a length of 4" pipe going to a dual snorkel TPI airbox (unfortunately, my STB interferes): The link will load to the hat that I would've needed, but there are others as well. The link takes a moment to load.

Hey, Uncle, you behavin?

iv got a 728 spctre but havnt gotten around to hooking it up but iv noticed that the tubes coiming out of the snorkles will conflict with the brake master cylinder and the A/C pump but it shold fit but it will have a very tight 90degree angle coming out in order to fit

I can't speak for the airbox quality but I have seen 2 cars make over 550rwhp with their filters. One made around 610 and didn't gain much of anything by taking the filter off. Both of those are made through autos too for what its worth.

any 1 got more pic's im tryn to help my bro put his on 89 rs tbi

looking for this?

Dennis, does that setup fit under a stock Camaro hood?

i wouldent think so...

yes it fit great !!!

see picture 2 !! even the original issolation is under the hood !!

wow...i stand corrected...im genuinely surprised to be honest
looks clean tho

power increases? throttle response?

Very cool man, thanks for the pics. Did you buy it all from the same place as a package? After seeing your pics I think I may go with a similar setup. If you don't mind me asking what did the whole intake setup put you back?

Wow, very cool intake setup. Similar to what I wanted. But that can't be that great, being right above the headers. I was going to continue the piping and go around where the headlight motors are.

@ itsMikey : the throttle response is very high !!

@ MadOTC : i have buy it on ebay complete for about 157 usd and the shipping was about 75 usd ! so it was worth it!

If you don't mind me asking what did the whole intake setup put you back?

Don`t understand what you mean sorry.

@ Daytona_83 : you have right,it`s not great to hang over the headers!
i will buy maybe this winter the other pipes to make it what you said.

thanks for all great comments

dennis

that big one dont fit with the booster an small one gets hot air but looks good. thay got another one thats bent past the booster its like 2sumthing

????

i have a fancy hood scoop on my car so i have some room to play with, but when i got my open element air filter for my car, i threw it on and screwed it down, not thinking to look at the throttle cable clearance...so im driving and the pedal isnt going all the way down right and it wont open up..sos i stomp it and well...the flippy thing the cable attached ton on the carb got stuck on the WIDE OPEN position lol....fun story..what i did was went to autozone and just got a air filter raiser for like....7 bux..works fine now

ok so, i have a fancy hood scoop with a decently open rear end by the window, would that help suck cold air in or is it just for looks...never really thought about that till i got this car

hi, i change my cold air setup.

look for this !!

I cant believe any governing authority in Europe would let one of their subjects put a big nasty carburetor on their cars... That's cool you're able to do that.

Did you cut holes in your battery tray and the tray behind the driver's side headlight and put the filters inside the fenders? Or are they just right behind the headlights?

And where is your alternator?

hmmm did anyone ever find a way to make the originally posted setup fit under a stock hood and clear all the linkage? i really want this lol it looks cool

Spectre has a LOT of different carb intakes... peruse their website. The one posted a few posts up is quite nice looking, IMO.

yes i cut 2 holes,one in the battery tray and and one on the other side and put the air filters under the tray area`s !!

my alternator is on the right side ( see picture 2 )

Anuone tried these on a 3gen? Spectre dual DTM.
